Tulips and a Dutch Bike :)

Spring is such a beautiful time of year for riding a bike! Oma enjoyed very much spotting so many of her homeland’s flowers during the ride home this evening.

I put her flowered basket back on for now. I could feel a substantial weight difference with the front rack and basket today, versus strapping my bag to the rear rack, but the basket set-up is worth it for the convenience and aesthetics.

The back street route I traveled was car-free for much of the time. Such a rarity in Chicago, which is why I’m happy to go 15 minutes out of my way.

Here’s a more representative “gritty” city shot. I think I need to start adding more spring color to my wardrobe. The tulips have inspired me!

I hope everyone had a lovely week of bicycling and is ready to begin the second half of April! :)

Oma is so stately and reserved, can’t tell if she is a little home sick or just quietly reflecting on the tulips. Spring seems to be maturing so early this year. Our yellow iris, which ordinarily don’t bloom until early or mid-May, started blooming today. I got to bike to the office three days this week! Glorious weather until Thursday when Spring storms returned. Thanks for sharing the beautiful photos!
